On Food, Diets and Weight Loss Programs

About

Manzanilla means chamomile in Spanish. It is also the name of my favorite brasserie in New York city.

I am Lori, originally from Wharton, TX, a single mother who lives in New York City with her lovely daughter. I have always liked blogging, as a way to express myself. The launch of this site coincided with my resolution to eat more raw and healthy food. Therefore, I write about healthy eating and food. Truth is, I think about and write about restaurants, menus, ingredients, and calories all the time. I occasionally also ramble about my dieting journey with Nutrisystem and BistroMD, my two excellent diets.

Meet Lori

Welcome! My name is Lori and I hope you get inspired with the collection of weight loss stories I have published in my blog. Being a community social worker, and having a degree in herbal medicine, I decided to name my blog Manzanilla, which means chamomile in Spanish. It is also the name of my favorite brasserie in New York city. (more)
